He explained that the ruling must be implemented, and there are two ways to do this.

The first is for Gibran to voluntarily resign from the vice presidency.

Secondly, Sudding noted, there could be an execution attempt through constitutional channels as mandated by Article 7A.

"The President and/or Vice President may be dismissed by the MPR upon the DPR's proposal when there are six criteria involved, including betrayal of the state, committing corruption, engaging in bribery or other serious crimes, behaving unacceptably, and/or being unfit to serve as President and/or Vice President," he stated.

"The subject here is the Vice President. The certificate related to him has been declared void and invalid. The original document must be destroyed. That is the ruling," Sudding added.

Thus, Sudding, as a DPR member with the right to interpellate, conduct inquiries, and express opinions, proposed the Right to Express Opinions for Gibran, who no longer meets the qualifications to serve as Vice President.

"Since this process has gone through judicial evidence, I, as a DPR member from the PAN faction, propose the Right to Express Opinions regarding Gibran Rakabuming Raka, who no longer meets the qualifications to serve as Vice President," he concluded.

Golkar's Stance

Thirteen members of the Golkar Party faction submitted the Right to Express Opinions concerning Gibran.

"The reason for this opinion is that we represent several members who have observed the latest developments, noting that there are Supreme Court and Constitutional Court decisions consistent with the legitimacy of the Vice President's position. We believe the legal matters are settled," said Golkar DPR member Ahmad Doli Kurnia Tandjung.

Additionally, Doli noted that similar aspirations are echoed by the public.

In light of this development, Golkar Party hopes the proposal for the HMP can soon proceed to the next stage.

"(We) express our request and our statement of opinion for processing at the stage of the dismissal of the Vice President to continue the process as stated in the Constitution under Articles 7A and 7B," he added.

Democrat's Stance

Meanwhile, 18 members of the Democratic Party faction in the DPR proposed the right to express opinions regarding Gibran's controversy.

"After carefully reviewing the Supreme Court and Constitutional Court rulings related to the SLTA diploma held by Vice President Rakabuming Raka, we, the 18 undersigned, propose to the leadership of the Council that the People's Consultative Assembly of the Republic of Indonesia exercise the right to express opinions," said Democratic Party DPR member Benny K Harman.

The Democratic Party faction believes Gibran has potentially engaged in unacceptable behavior and is unfit to serve as the Vice President of the Republic of Indonesia.
